The nuclear accident at Chernobyl: Immediate and further consequences
The accident at Chernobyl occurred in April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Union. The incident occurred during a scheduled safety test. A combination of inherent reactor design flaws and operators’ mistakes resulted in reactor’s No.4 disaster and the emission of a large quantity of radiation. The immediate actions involved the fire

Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Reduced Susceptibility to the Dunning–Kruger Effect in Autistic Employees
ABSTRACT Evidence indicates that autistic individuals are less susceptible to social influence and cognitive biases than non‐autistic individuals. However, no studies have been conducted on the Dunning–Kruger effect (DKE) in autism. The DKE is a cognitive bias in which people with limited expertise in a specific domain overestimate their abilities. The

Uranium and Neptunium Accumulation by the Byssus of Mytilus galloprovincialis
Investigation of uranyl(VI) and neptunyl(V) uptake in mussel's byssus by combining in vivo bioaccumulation with ex vivo isotherms. Data highlight the role of DOPA‐rich mfp proteins in binding both actinyl cations and partial Np(V) reduction. Such data link molecular interactions to radionuclide uptake in the framework of marine radioecology.

A Synergistic Complexation‐Encapsulation Paradigm Enables Unprecedented Radioactive Remediation
A novel HDEHP‐APG eutectic mixture‐based detergent is developed that achieves highly efficient decontamination of Am through a synergistic complexation‐encapsulation mechanism. Remarkably, such a detergent effectively removes radionuclides across a wide range of oxidation states (+I to +VII), demonstrating exceptional versatility.
